When removed all it did was inherit gnomebase gtk-icon-cache gconf mime which would also be the most trivial replacement. Most of the time not all of these classes were needed, and it is recommended to use only the ones actually required.

documentation
This is the directory that contains the Yocto Project documentation. The Yocto Project source repositories at http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi have two instances of the "documentation" directory. You should understand each of these instances.
poky/documentation - The directory within the poky Git repository containing the set of Yocto Project manuals. When you clone the poky Git repository, the documentation directory contains the manuals. The state of the manuals in this directory is guaranteed to reflect the latest Yocto Project release. The manuals at the tip of this directory will also likely contain most manual development changes.
yocto-docs/documentation - The Git repository for the Yocto Project manuals. This repository is where manual development occurs. If you plan on contributing back to the Yocto Project documentation, you should set up a local Git repository based on this upstream repository as follows:
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-docs
Changes and patches are first pushed to the
yocto-docs Git repository. Later, they make it
into the poky Git repository found at
git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.
Manual Organization
Folders exist for individual manuals as follows:
- sdk-manual - The Yocto Project Software Development Kit (SDK) Developer's Guide.
- bsp-guide - The Yocto Project Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's Guide
- dev-manual - The Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual
- kernel-dev - The Yocto Project Linux Kernel Development Tasks Manual
- ref-manual - The Yocto Project Reference Manual
- yocto-project-qs - The Yocto Project Quick Start
- mega-manual - The Yocto Project Mega-Manual, which is an aggregated manual comprised of all YP manuals and guides
- profile-manual - The Yocto Project Profile and Tracing Manual
- toaster-manual - The Toaster Manual
Each folder is self-contained regarding content and figures. Note that there is a sed file needed to process the links of the mega-manual. The sed file is located in the tools directory. Also note that the figures folder in the mega-manual directory contains duplicates of all the figures in the YP folders directories for all YP manuals and guides.
If you want to find HTML versions of the Yocto Project manuals on the web, go to http://www.yoctoproject.org and click on the "Documentation" tab. From there you have access to archived documentation from previous releases, current documentation for the latest release, and "Docs in Progress" for the release currently being developed.
In general, the Yocto Project site (http://www.yoctoproject.org) is a great reference for both information and downloads.
Makefile
The Makefile processes manual directories to create HTML, PDF, tarballs, etc. Details on how the Makefile work are documented inside the Makefile. See that file for more information.
To build a manual, you run the make command and pass it the name of the folder containing the manual's contents. For example, the following command run from the documentation directory creates an HTML version of the SDK manual. The DOC variable specifies the manual you are making:
$ make DOC=sdk-manual
poky.ent
This file defines variables used for documentation production. The variables are used to define release pathnames, URLs for the published manuals, etc.
template
Contains various templates, fonts, and some old PNG files.
tools
Contains a tool to convert the DocBook files to PDF format. This folder also contains the mega-manual.sed file, which is used by Makefile to process cross-references from within the manual that normally go to an external manual.
